This is my third pair of Mizuno shoes and I love them. This pair is positioned as a running shoe. I'm not a runner per se, but I do run as part of my CrossFit classes. These shoes are perfect for that. In fact, they are perfect for almost any workout. I also wear them to weightlifting, step aerobics (yes, I still do sometimes) and boot camp. The shoes are very comfortable and look great. I'm a size 10 1/2 which fits perfectly, as does a size 11. Mizuno shoes are built to last and these seem to be no exception. You are beautiful.
